Heparanase expression increases throughout the endometrial hyperplasia-cancer sequence.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the expression of heparanase in the different stages leading to endometrial cancer. METHODS: The 38 examined specimens included adenocarcinoma, hyperplasia, and normal endometrium specimens. Heparanase, estrogen, and progesterone receptor expressions were analyzed immunohistochemically and the intensity was scored. RESULTS: Secretory normal endometrium and simple hyperplasia specimens expressed the lowest mean values of expression (1.00 and 0.63, respectively); the complex hyperplasia specimens and G2 endometrioid adenocarcinoma showed the highest values of expression (2.33 and 2.71, respectively). A linear trend (P=0.005) of heparanase expression was observed when comparing the normal endometrium and simple hyperplasia group with the complex hyperplasia+G1 carcinoma group and the G2+G3 carcinoma group. Evaluation of atrophic and inactive endometrium compared with papillary serous carcinomas yielded no significant differences. We found no significant correlation between heparanase expression and estrogen receptor or progesterone receptor expression. CONCLUSION: Heparanase expression was tightly regulated in endometrial tumorigenesis.

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast: A case report

Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare benign breast entity scarcely reported in the medical literature. Its pathogenesis, etiology, and optimal treatment are still unknown. PASH tumors have a broad spectrum of clinical presentations and might be mistaken for malignancies. The authors present six patients diagnosed with PASH.     

TURP联合膀胱造瘘 peel-away大通道弹道碎石治疗BPH并发多发膀胱大结石

目的：探讨一期腔内治疗BPH并发膀胱结石的有效、快捷治疗方法。方法：采用TURP联合肾镜下气压弹道碎石、清石术治疗BPH并发膀胱结石30例。结果：30例均一次手术成功,元输血、TufuP综合征及严重感染等并发症发生。术后复查KUB、膀胱内均未见残石,清石率迭100％。住院7—9d,最大尿流率较术前明显改善。结论：TURP联合膀胱造瘘peel—away大通道肾镜下气压弹道碎石、清石术治疗BPH并发膀胱结石,创伤小、手术时间短、恢复快、安全高效,是治疗BPH并发膀胱结石的理想方法。     

腹腔镜与开腹手术治疗良性卵巢囊肿的疗效分析

目的:探讨腹腔镜手术治疗卵巢囊肿的临床应用价值。方法:回顾分析2007年1月至2008年1月在我院分别接受腹腔镜与开腹手术治疗卵巢囊肿的患者各32例。结果:腹腔镜组切口明显小于开腹组,术中出血量、手术时间明显少于开腹组,两组比较差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.001);腹腔镜组患者术后镇痛药物使用人数明显少于开腹组(P<0.001),术后肠蠕动恢复时间、住院天数明显短于开腹组(P<0.001),术后工作恢复时间、术后病率明显优于开腹组(P<0.05)。结论:腹腔镜下卵巢囊肿手术安全有效,具有创伤小、术后恢复快、住院时间短及术后病率低等特点。     

中-重度不典型增生喉癌癌前病变的治疗探讨

目的提高对中-重度不典型增生喉癌癌前病变的认识,选择恰当的方法治疗中-重度不典型增生喉癌癌前病变。方法选取经病理证实的29例喉中-重度不典型增生癌前病变患者,其中26例采用喉内镜下声带黏膜剥脱术治疗,3例采用喉裂开下喉部分切除术治疗。所有患者术后均随访3年以上,若出现恶变者则至恶变时为此研究随访结束时间。结果 17例一次性治愈;2例复发,采用喉裂开下喉部分切除术治愈;10例癌变,此患者之后按肿瘤分期分别行开放性手术。结论病理为中-重度不典型增生的喉癌癌前病变恶变率高,采用支撑喉镜下声带黏膜剥脱术治疗喉癌癌前病变仍有较高的治愈率,但术后必须严格随诊。     

从“治未病”思想探讨中医药防治EH相关子宫内膜癌的研究意义

子宫内膜癌为女性生殖道三大恶性肿瘤之一。子宫内膜增生症(endometrial hyperplasia,EH)乃子宫内膜癌的癌前病变,因而早期诊断和治疗EH非常必要。中医药防治EH相关子宫内膜癌有其应用简便、价格低廉、有效安全等优势,符合中医"治未病"的思想。由此推理,中医药防治EH相关子宫内膜癌有着广阔前景,值得深入研究。     

Neuropsychological status of children with newly diagnosed idiopathic childhood epilepsy

We characterized the neuropsychological status of children with newly diagnosed idiopathic childhood epilepsy and measured differences in IQ between children with different types of epilepsy. The Korean Education Development Institute-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (KEDI-WISC) was administered to 72 patients (35 males and 37 females), of mean age 8.7 ± 2.6 years, with newly diagnosed idiopathic childhood epilepsy. Of these patients, 22 (30.6%) had generalized epilepsy, 48 (66.7%) localization-related epilepsy, and 2 (2.8%) mixed epilepsy. Children with generalized epilepsy and benign childhood epilepsy with centro-temporal spikes (BCECTS) were of similar verbal IQ and full-scale IQ, although performance IQ was significantly lower in patients with generalized epilepsy. Among children with BCECTS, those with unilateral spikes had higher full-scale and performance IQ scores than those with bilateral spikes. Follow-up studies on large numbers of patients are needed to determine the effects of epilepsy per se, and antiepileptic drugs, on intelligence.     

Chondroma of the mandibular condyle-relapse of a rare benign chondroid tumour after 5 years' follow-up: case report

Chondroma of the mandibular condyle is rare and its signs and symptoms can mimic those of patients with more common disorders of facial asymmetry or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We report a case of chondroma of the mandibular condyle that presented as temporomandibular pain with malocclusion, and which relapsed 5 years after the initial treatment. To our knowledge only 7 cases of chondroma of the mandibular condyle have been reported in the last 70 years. This case is the eighth.
